No verdict yet on Delaware River Tubing's variance request in Kingwood

KINGWOOD TWP. — The fourth installment of the zoning board hearing of Delaware River Tubing's variance application did not result in a verdict tonight, Oct. 9. That could come at the fifth installment, which is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 13, in the Kingwood Township Municipal Building.

Greg Crance, owner of the tubing company, is seeking variances that would allow him to use his lot between Route 29 and the state-owned hiking trail as a storage and staging area for tubing and boating.

Tonight's session included testimony by a traffic engineer and a planner hired by Diana Evans, who lives across Route 29 from the site, plus presentations from other Kingwood residents opposed to the variances.

The public commentary may continue at the next meeting, followed by a summation by Crance's attorney, and a vote — provided all that can be accomplished by the 10:30 quitting time.
